1 Claim. (Cl. 88-85)
My invention relates to improvements in ma
chine guns and to sighting and ?ring equipment
therefor, the primary object in view being to
equip such guns for accurate sighting thereof
and ?ring from a location well below the line of
?re from the same, as a safety provision for those
engaged in trench warfare and the like.

front end of the pull rod I9 is operatively con

Manifestly, the invention, as described, is sus
ceptible of modi?cation without departing from
the inventive concept, and right is herein reserved
to‘ such modi?cations as fall within the scope of
the appended claim.
What I claim is:
In a gun including a barrel, 2. front sight on
said barrel, and means for supporting the barrel
in elevated position, a right-angled bracket de
pending from the breech end of the gun and in
cluding a vertical arm and a lower end horizontal
arm, a, pair of upper and lower image reflecting
members one mounted on the breech end of the
4
gun in the line of sight and the other mounted
on said bracket at the lower end thereof and in
the angle formed by said arms, the upper member
being inclined relative to the line of sight and
facing forwardly of the barrel to reflect the image
of a target downwardly, and the lower member
being similarly inclined in the line of re?ection
from the upper member and facing rearwardly of
said barrel to reflect the image rearwardly, and a
telescope mounted on said lower arm for viewing
the image re?ected in said lower member.
